Al Nabooda Automobiles, the sole distributor of Volkswagen in Dubai and the Northern Emirates has announced the arrival of the new 2016 Passat in Al Nabooda Automobile showrooms across the Emirate. The new model features a striking new design, innovative technology and enhanced value at a starting price of just AED 87,823.


The 2016 Passat will be available in four configurations - S, SE, SEL and Sport - and features more aggressive styling than its predecessor, with a new hood, front fenders, grille, front and rear bumpers, trunk lid and LED headlights and taillights.


Thierry Seys, General Manager, Al Nabooda Automobiles, Volkswagen, said: “With a bolder front-end and redesigned rear bumpers and hood, the new Passat’s exterior gives it a more striking look without sacrificing the shape that has defined the car.


“Extensive work has been made to the interior providing the Passat with a more premium and refined feel. The upgrade of technology gives our customers increased safety features as well as enhancing their connectivity to the in-car infotainment systems”.


The new exterior offers slimmer headlights, a more substantial four-bar grille, and a muscular, domed hood, with all features blending harmoniously to give the Passat a wider, more planted stance at the front end. Additionally, a new chrome strip on the trunk ensures the rear lights appear lower, enhancing the grounded appearance.


Inside, the 2016 Passat showcases an extensively upgraded interior, for a more sophisticated look and feel, including a new steering wheel and two-tone décor panels and refined chrome and piano black trim.


The Passat features the second-generation in-car infotainment system that features touchscreens, USB and Bluetooth® as standard equipment on all 2016 Passat models.


Volkswagen also offers a combination of new safety and driver assistance systems in the 2016 Passat. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System builds on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact.

The new model features the latest Mirrorlink technology, park distance control front and rear as well as the Radio “Composition Media” interface.

In addition to the features of the Passat S, the SE model includes 17” “Carolina” alloy wheels, front fog lamps with static cornering lights, leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel, auto dimming rear view mirror and rear view camera.


Passat SEL

The Passat SEL model’s distinguishing features include 17” “Knoxville” alloy wheels, two-zone climatronic air conditioning and Fender sound system with subwoofer. The new dramatic LED headlights and taillights provide better lighting performance with reduced energy consumption.
